Identification of a marine-derived sesquiterpenoid, Compound-8, that inhibits tumour necrosis factor-induced cell death by blocking complex II assembly. Br J Pharmacol 2024; 181:2443-2458. [PMID: 38555910 DOI: 10.1111/bph.16364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a pleiotropic inflammatory cytokine that not only directly induces inflammatory gene expression but also triggers apoptotic and necroptotic cell death, which leads to tissue damage and indirectly exacerbates inflammation. Thus, identification of inhibitors for TNF-induced cell death has broad therapeutic relevance for TNF-related inflammatory diseases. In the present study, we isolated and identified a marine fungus-derived sesquiterpenoid, 9α,14-dihydroxy-6β-p-nitrobenzoylcinnamolide (named as Cpd-8), that inhibits TNF receptor superfamily-induced cell death by preventing the formation of cytosolic death complex II. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Marine sponge-associated fungi were cultured and the secondary metabolites were extracted to yield pure compounds. Cell viability was measured by ATP-Glo cell viability assay. The effects of Cpd-8 on TNF signalling pathway were investigated by western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence assays. A mouse model of acute liver injury (ALI) was employed to explore the protection effect of Cpd-8, in vivo. KEY RESULTS Cpd-8 selectively inhibits TNF receptor superfamily-induced apoptosis and necroptosis. Cpd-8 prevents the formation of cytosolic death complex II and subsequent RIPK1-RIPK3 necrosome, while it has no effect on TNF receptor I (TNFR1) internalization and the formation of complex I in TNF signalling pathway. In vivo, Cpd-8 protects mice against TNF-α/D-GalN-induced ALI. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS A marine fungus-derived sesquiterpenoid, Cpd-8, inhibits TNF receptor superfamily-induced cell death, both in vitro and in vivo. This study not only provides a useful research tool to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of TNF-induced cell death but also identifies a promising lead compound for future drug development.

Abstract
Purpose Necroptosis, a monitored form of inflammatory cell death, contributes to coronary heart disease (CHD) progression. This study examined the potential of using necroptosis genes as diagnostic markers for CHD and sought to elucidate the underlying roles. Methods Through bioinformatic analysis of GSE20680 and GSE20681, we first identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to necroptosis in CHD. Hub genes were identified using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and random forest analysis after studying immune infiltration and transcription factor-miRNA interaction networks according to the DEGs. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry were used to further investigate hub gene expression in vivo, for which a diagnostic model was constructed and the predictive efficacy was validated. Finally, the CHD group was categorized into high- and low-score groups in accordance with the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) score of the necroptosis genes. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, GSEA, and further immune infiltration analyses were performed on the two groups to explore the possible roles of hub genes. Results Based on the results of the LASSO regression and random forest analyses, four genes were used to construct a diagnostic model to establish a nomogram. Additionally, an extensive analysis of all seventeen necroptosis genes revealed notable distinctions in expression between high-risk and low-risk groups. Evaluation of immune infiltration revealed that neutrophils, monocytes, B cells, and activated dendritic cells were highly distributed in the peripheral blood of patients with CHD. Specifically, the high CHD score group exhibited greater neutrophil and monocyte infiltration. Conversely, the high-score group showed lower infiltration of M0 and M2 macrophages, CD8+ T, plasma, and resting mast cells. Conclusion TLR3, MLKL, HMGB1, and NDRG2 may be prospective biomarkers for CHD diagnosis. These findings offer plausible explanations for the role of necroptosis in CHD progression through immune infiltration and inflammatory response.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have a complex pathogenesis and pose a major threat to human health. Cardiomyocytes have a low regenerative capacity, and their death is a key factor in the morbidity and mortality of many CVDs. Cardiomyocyte death can be regulated by specific signaling pathways known as programmed cell death (PCD), including apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, etc. Abnormalities in PCD can lead to the development of a variety of cardiovascular diseases, and there are also molecular-level interconnections between different PCD pathways under the same cardiovascular disease model. Currently, the link between programmed cell death in cardiomyocytes and cardiovascular disease is not fully understood. This review describes the molecular mechanisms of programmed death and the impact of cardiomyocyte death on cardiovascular disease development. Emphasis is placed on a summary of drugs and potential therapeutic approaches that can be used to treat cardiovascular disease by targeting and blocking programmed cell death in cardiomyocytes.

Hou C, Fei S, Jia F. Necroptosis and immune infiltration in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: novel insights from bioinformatics analyses. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1293786. [PMID: 38947229 PMCID: PMC11211569 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1293786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), a widespread genetic heart disorder, is largely associated with sudden cardiac fatality. Necroptosis, an emerging type of programmed cell death, plays a fundamental role in several cardiovascular diseases. Aim This research utilized bioinformatics analysis to investigate necroptosis's implication in HCM. Methods The study retrieved RNA sequencing datasets GSE130036 and GSE141910 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. It detected necroptosis-linked differentially expressed genes (NRDEGs) by reviewing both the gene set for necroptosis and the differently expressed genes (DEGs). The enriched signaling pathway of HCM was assessed using GSEA, while common DEGs were studied through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Concurrently, the Protein-Protein Interaction network (PPI) proved useful for identifying central genes. CIBERSORT facilitated evaluating the correlation between distinct immune cell-type prevalence and NRDEGs by analyzing immune infiltration patterns. Lastly, GSE141910 dataset validated the expression ranks of NRDEGs and immune-cell penetration. Results The investigation disclosed significant enrichment and activation of the necroptosis pathway in HCM specimens. Seventeen diverse genes, including CYBB, BCL2, and JAK2 among others, were identified in the process. PPI network scrutiny classified nine of these genes as central genes. Results from GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed substantial connections of these genes to pathways pertaining to the HIF-1 signaling track, necroptosis, and NOD-like receptor signaling process. Moreover, an imbalance in M2 macrophage cells in HCM samples was observed. Finally, CYBB, BCL2, and JAK2 emerged as vital genes and were validated using the GSE141910 dataset. Conclusion These results indicate necroptosis as a probable underlying factor in HCM, with immune cell infiltration playing a part. Additionally, CYBB, BCL2, JAK2 could act as potential biomarkers for recognizing HCM. This information forms crucial insights into the basic mechanisms of HCM and could enhance its diagnosis and management.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac rhythm disorder, often occurring in the setting of atrial distension and elevated myocardialstretch. While various mechano-electrochemical signal transduction pathways have been linked to AF development and progression, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood, hampering AF therapies. In this review, we describe different aspects of stretch-induced electro-anatomical remodeling as seen in animal models and in patients with AF. Specifically, we focus on cellular and molecular mechanisms that are responsible for mechano-electrochemical signal transduction and the development of ectopic beats triggering AF from pulmonary veins, the most common source of paroxysmal AF. Furthermore, we describe structural changes caused by stretch occurring before and shortly after the onset of AF as well as during AF progression, contributing to longstanding forms of AF. We also propose mechanical stretch as a new dimension to the concept "AF begets AF", in addition to underlying diseases. Finally, we discuss the mechanisms of these electro-anatomical alterations in a search for potential therapeutic strategies and the development of novel antiarrhythmic drugs targeted at the components of mechano-electrochemical signal transduction not only in cardiac myocytes, but also in cardiac non-myocyte cells.

Abstract
Background The implication of necroptosis in cardiovascular disease was already recognized. However, the molecular mechanism of necroptosis has not been extensively studied in coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CHD and control samples were acquired in the GSE20681 dataset downloaded from the GEO database. Key necroptosis-related DEGs were captured and ascertained by bioinformatics analysis techniques, including weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and two machine learning algorithms, while single-gene gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed their molecular mechanisms. The diagnostic biomarkers were selected via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Moreover, an analysis of immune elements infiltration degree was carried out. Authentication of pivotal gene expression at the mRNA level was investigated in vitro utilizing quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Results A total of 94 DE-NRGs were recognized here, among which, FAM166B, NEFL, POLDIP3, PRSS37, and ZNF594 were authenticated as necroptosis-related biomarkers, and the linear regression model based on them presented an acceptable ability to different sample types. Following regulatory analysis, the ascertained biomarkers were markedly abundant in functions pertinent to blood circulation, calcium ion homeostasis, and the MAPK/cAMP/Ras signaling pathway. Single-sample GSEA exhibited that APC co-stimulation and CCR were more abundant, and aDCs and B cells were relatively scarce in CHD patients. Consistent findings from bioinformatics and qRT-PCR analyses confirmed the upregulation of NEFL and the downregulation of FAM166B, POLDIP3, and PRSS37 in CHD. Conclusion Our current investigation identified 5 necroptosis-related genes that could be diagnostic markers for CHD and brought a novel comprehension of the latent molecular mechanisms of necroptosis in CHD.

Abstract
Interferon Gamma Inducible Protein 16 (IFI16) belongs to the HIN-200 protein family and is pivotal in immunological responses. Serving as a DNA sensor, IFI16 identifies viral and aberrant DNA, triggering immune and inflammatory responses. It is implicated in diverse cellular death mechanisms, such as pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis. Notably, these processes are integral to the emergent concept of PANoptosis, which encompasses cellular demise and inflammatory pathways. Current research implies a significant regulatory role for IFI16 in PANoptosis, particularly regarding cardiac pathologies. This review delves into the complex interplay between IFI16 and PANoptosis in heart diseases, including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and diabetic cardiomyopathy. It synthesizes evidence of IFI16's impact on PANoptosis, with the intention of providing novel insights for therapeutic strategies targeting heart diseases.

Abstract
Sodium p-perfluorous nonenoxybenzene sulfonate (OBS) has been widely used as a substitute for perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) because of its high surface activity and low cost, but the knowledge of its biological effects is still limited. In this study, we compared the toxic effects of OBS and PFOS on human hepatoma cells (HepG2). OBS resulted in lower cell viability, higher ROS levels, and more severe necrosis than PFOS, indicating that OBS caused higher cytotoxicity than PFOS. In this process, OBS induced a burst of ROS and downregulation of catalase (CAT). OBS-induced oxidative stress was recovered after the CAT overexpression, but the CAT levels were not reversed after N-acetylcysteine (NAC) pretreatment. This indicates that the downregulated CAT is an upstream signal of the ROS burst. Moreover, drug affinity targeting assay, spectroscopic analysis and molecular docking were conducted, showing that OBS directly targeted CAT and therefore downregulated CAT. In addition, we found that OBS-induced necrosis is RIP1/RIP3-dependent programmed necroptosis. In summary, OBS directly targets CAT to reduce CAT levels and induces oxidative stress and necroptosis. Our findings are helpful to understand the toxicity of OBS and to evaluate the safety of OBS as a substitute for PFOS.

Abstract
Clinical studies have shown that α1-adrenergic receptor antagonists (α-blockers) are associated with increased heart failure risk. The mechanism underlying that hazard and whether it arises from direct inhibition of cardiomyocyte α1-ARs or from systemic effects remain unclear. To address these issues, we created a mouse with cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of the α1A-AR subtype and found that it experienced 70% mortality within 7 days of myocardial infarction driven, in part, by excessive activation of necroptosis. We also found that patients taking α-blockers at our center were at increased risk of death after myocardial infarction, providing clinical correlation for our translational animal models.

Abstract
Necroptosis, a type of programmed cell death that resembles necrosis, is now known to depend on a different molecular mechanism from apoptosis, according to several recent studies. Many efforts have reported the possible influence of necroptosis in human disorders and concluded the crucial role in the pathophysiology of various diseases, including liver diseases, renal injuries, cancers, and others. Fibrosis is the most common end-stage pathological cascade of several chronic inflammatory disorders. In this review, we explain the impact of necroptosis and fibrosis, for which necroptosis has been demonstrated to be a contributing factor. We also go over the inhibitors of necroptosis and how they have been applied to fibrosis models. This review helps to clarify the role of necroptosis in fibrosis and will encourage clinical efforts to target this pathway of programmed cell death.

Abstract
With the thrive of nanotechnology, silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been extensively adopted in the agriculture, food, cosmetic, and even biomedical industries. Due to the mass production and use, SiNPs inevitably entered the environment, resulting in ecological toxicity and even posing a threat to human health. Although considerable investigations have been conducted to assess the toxicity of SiNPs, the correlation between SiNPs exposure and consequent health risks remains ambiguous. Since the biological impacts of SiNPs can differ from their design and application, the toxicity assessment for SiNPs may be extremely difficult. This review discussed the application of SiNPs in different fields, especially their biomedical use, and documented their potential release pathways into the environment. Meanwhile, the current process of assessing SiNPs-related toxicity on various model organisms and cell lines was also detailed, thus estimating the health threats posed by SiNPs exposure. Finally, the potential toxic mechanisms of SiNPs were also elaborated based on results obtained from both in vivo and in vitro trials. This review generally summarizes the biological effects of SiNPs, which will build up a comprehensive perspective of the application and toxicity of SiNPs.

Comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial dysfunction and necroptosis in intracranial aneurysms from the perspective of predictive, preventative, and personalized medicine. Apoptosis 2023; 28:1452-1468. [PMID: 37410216 PMCID: PMC10425526 DOI: 10.1007/s10495-023-01865-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023]
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and necroptosis are closely associated, and play vital roles in the medical strategy of multiple cardiovascular diseases. However, their implications in intracranial aneurysms (IAs) remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore whether mitochondrial dysfunction and necroptosis could be identified as valuable starting points for predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine for IAs. The transcriptional profiles of 75 IAs and 37 control samples were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs), weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were used to screen key genes. The ssGSEA algorithm was performed to establish phenotype scores. The correlation between mitochondrial dysfunction and necroptosis was evaluated using functional enrichment crossover, phenotype score correlation, immune infiltration, and interaction network construction. The IA diagnostic values of key genes were identified using machine learning. Finally, we performed the single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis to explore mitochondrial dysfunction and necroptosis at the cellular level. In total, 42 IA-mitochondrial DEGs and 15 IA-necroptosis DEGs were identified. Screening revealed seven key genes invovled in mitochondrial dysfunction (KMO, HADH, BAX, AADAT, SDSL, PYCR1, and MAOA) and five genes involved in necroptosis (IL1B, CAMK2G, STAT1, NLRP3, and BAX). Machine learning confirmed the high diagnostic value of these key genes for IA. The IA samples showed higher expression of mitochondrial dysfunction and necroptosis. Mitochondrial dysfunction and necroptosis exhibited a close association. Furthermore, scRNA-seq indicated that mitochondrial dysfunction and necroptosis were preferentially up-regulated in monocytes/macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) within IA lesions. In conclusion, mitochondria-induced necroptosis was involved in IA formation, and was mainly up-regulated in monocytes/macrophages and VSMCs within IA lesions. Mitochondria-induced necroptosis may be a novel potential target for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of IA.

Abstract
Necroptosis, which is distinct from apoptosis and necrosis, serves a crucial role in ontogeny and the maintenance of homeostasis. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases is also linked to necroptosis. Receptor interaction protein kinase (RIPK) 1, RIPK3 and mixed lineage kinase domain‑like protein serve vital roles in necroptosis. In addition to the aforementioned necroptosis‑related components, calcium/calmodulin‑dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) has been identified as a novel substrate for RIPK3 that promotes the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and thus, mediates necroptosis of myocardial cells through the RIPK3‑CaMKII‑mPTP signaling pathway. The present review provides an overview of the current knowledge of the RIPK3‑CaMKII‑mPTP‑mediated necroptosis signaling pathway in cardiovascular diseases, focusing on the role of the RIPK3‑CaMKII‑mPTP signaling pathway in acute myocardial infarction, ischemia‑reperfusion injury, heart failure, abdominal aortic aneurysm, atherosclerosis, diabetic cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and the cardiotoxicity associated with antitumor drugs and other chemicals. Finally, the present review discusses the research status of drugs targeting the RIPK3‑CaMKII‑mPTP signaling pathway.

Abstract
Pancreatic beta-cell death has been established as a critical mediator in the progression of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Beta-cell death is associated with exacerbating hyperglycemia and insulin resistance and paves the way for the progression of DM and its complications. Apoptosis has been considered the primary mechanism of beta-cell death in diabetes. However, recent pieces of evidence have implicated the substantial involvement of several other novel modes of cell death, including autophagy, pyroptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis. These distinct mechanisms are characterized by their unique biochemical features and often precipitate damage through the induction of cellular stressors, including endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Experimental studies were identified from PubMed literature on different modes of beta cell death during the onset of diabetes mellitus. This review summarizes current knowledge on the crucial pathways implicated in pancreatic beta cell death. The article also focuses on applying natural compounds as potential treatment strategies in inhibiting these cell death pathways.

Abstract
The role of astrocytes in major depressive disorder has received great attention. Increasing evidence indicates that decreased astrocyte numbers in the hippocampus may be associated with depression, but the role of necroptosis in depression is unknown. Here, in a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) mouse model and a corticosterone (Cort)-induced human astrocyte injury model in vitro, we found that mice treated with chronic unpredictable mild stress for 3-5 weeks presented depressive-like behaviors and reduced body weight gain, accompanied by a reduction in astrocytes and a decrease in astrocytic brain-derived neurotropic factors (BDNF), by activation of necroptotic kinases, including RIPK1 (receptor-interacting protein kinase 1)/p-RIPK1, RIPK3 (receptor-interacting protein kinase 3)/p-RIPK3 and MLKL (mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein)/p-MLKL, and by upregulation of inflammatory cytokines in astrocytes of the mouse hippocampus. In contrast, necroptotic kinase inhibitors suppressed Cort-induced necroptotic kinase activation, reduced astrocytes, astrocytic necroptosis and dysfunction, and decreased Cort-mediated inflammatory cytokines in astrocytes. Treatment with fluoxetine (FLX) for 5 weeks improved chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced mouse depressive-like behaviors; simultaneously, fluoxetine inhibited depression-induced necroptotic kinase activation, reversed the reduction in astrocytes and astrocytic necroptosis and dysfunction, decreased inflammatory cytokines and upregulated brain-derived neurotropic factors and 5-HT1A levels. Furthermore, fluoxetine had no direct inhibitory effect on receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 phosphorylation. The combined administration of fluoxetine and necroptotic kinase inhibitors further reduced corticosterone-induced astrocyte injury. In conclusion, the reduction in astrocytes caused by depressive-like models in vivo and in vitro may be associated with the activation of necroptotic kinases and astrocytic necroptosis, and fluoxetine exerts an antidepressive effect by indirectly inhibiting receptor-interacting protein kinase 1-mediated astrocytic necroptosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Autonomic nervous activity imbalance plays an important role in atrial fibrillation (AF). AF can be treated by acupuncture at the Neiguan point (PC6), but the mechanism remains elusive. Here, we investigated autonomic nervous system activity in electroacupuncture (EA) at PC6 in a rat AF model. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we established a rat AF model via tail vein injection with ACh-CaCl2 for ten consecutive days with or without EA at PC6. AF inducibility and heart rate variability (HRV) were assessed by electrocardiogram. Next, we completed in vivo recording of the activity of cervical sympathetic and vagal nerves, respectively. Finally, the activities of brain regions related to autonomic nerve regulation were assessed by c-Fos immunofluorescence and multichannel recording. RESULTS EA at PC6 decreased AF inducibility and prevented changes in HRV caused by ACh-CaCl2 injection. Meanwhile, EA at PC6 reversed the increased sympathetic and decreased vagal nerve activity in AF rats. Furthermore, EA treatment downregulated increased c-Fos expression in brain regions, including paraventricular nucleus, rostral ventrolateral medulla, and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus in AF, while c-Fos expression in nucleus ambiguus was upregulated with EA. CONCLUSION The protective effect of EA at PC6 on AF is associated with balance between sympathetic and vagal nerve activities.

Abstract
Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) caused by hypoxia-ischemia (HI) affects around 1 per 1000 term newborns and is the leading cause of acquired brain injury and neurodisability. Despite the use of hypothermia (HT) as a standard of care, the incidence of NE and its devastating outcomes remains a major issue. Ongoing research surrounding add-on neuroprotective strategies against NE is important as HT effects are limited, leaving 50% of treated patients with neurological sequelae. Little is known about the interaction between necroptotic blockade and HT in neonatal HI. Using a preclinical Lewis rat model of term human NE induced by HI, we showed a neuroprotective effect of Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1: a compound blocking necroptosis) in combination with HT. The beneficial effect of Nec-1 added to HT against NE injuries was observed at the mechanistic level on both pMLKL and TNF-α, and at the anatomical level on brain volume loss visualized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). HT alone showed no effect on activated necroptotic effectors and did not preserve the brain MRI volume. This study opens new avenues of research to understand better the specific cell death mechanisms of brain injuries as well as the potential use of new therapeutics targeting the necroptosis pathway.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, mechanisms of programmed cell death have attracted the scientific community because they are involved in diverse human diseases. Initially, apoptosis was considered as a crucial mechanistic pathway for programmed cell death; recently, an alternative regulated mode of cell death was identified, mimicking the features of both apoptosis and necrosis. Several lines of evidence have revealed that dysregulation of necroptosis leads to pathological diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, lung, renal, hepatic, neurodegenerative, and inflammatory diseases. Regulated forms of necrosis are executed by death receptor ligands through the activation of receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK)-1/3 and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), resulting in the formation of a necrosome complex. Many papers based on genetic and pharmacological studies have shown that RIPKs and MLKL are the key regulatory effectors during the progression of multiple pathological diseases. This review focused on illuminating the mechanisms underlying necroptosis, the functions of necroptosis-associated proteins, and their influences on disease progression. We also discuss numerous natural and chemical compounds and novel targeted therapies that elicit beneficial roles of necroptotic cell death in malignant cells to bypass apoptosis and drug resistance and to provide suggestions for further research in this field.

Abstract
Programmed necrosis is a new modulated cell death mode with necrotizing morphological characteristics. Receptor interacting protein 1 (RIPK1) is a critical mediator of the programmed necrosis pathway that is involved in stroke, myocardial infarction, fatal systemic inflammatory response syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, and malignancy. At present, the reported inhibitors are divided into four categories. The first category is the type I ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors that targets the area occupied by the ATP adenylate ring; The second category is type Ⅱ ATP competitive kinase inhibitors targeting the DLG-out conformation of RIPK1; The third category is type Ⅲ kinase inhibitors that compete for binding to allosteric sites near ATP pockets; The last category is others. This paper reviews the structure, biological function, and recent research progress of receptor interaction protein-1 kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a pediatric malignant bone tumor that predominantly affects adolescent and young adults. It has high risk for relapse and over the last four decades no improvement of prognosis was achieved. It is therefore crucial to identify new drug candidates for OS treatment to combat drug resistance, limit relapse, and stop metastatic spread. Two acquired hallmarks of cancer cells, mitochondria-related regulated cell death (RCD) and metabolism are intimately connected. Both have been shown to be dysregulated in OS, making them attractive targets for novel treatment. Promising OS treatment strategies focus on promoting RCD by targeting key molecular actors in metabolic reprogramming. The exact interplay in OS, however, has not been systematically analyzed. We therefore review these aspects by synthesizing current knowledge in apoptosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy in OS. Additionally, we outline an overview of mitochondrial function and metabolic profiles in different preclinical OS models. Finally, we discuss the mechanism of action of two novel molecule combinations currently investigated in active clinical trials: metformin and the combination of ADI-PEG20, Docetaxel and Gemcitabine.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease, is a leading cause of death worldwide. Vascular endothelial cells (VECs), vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and macrophages play extremely vital roles in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and subsequent atherosclerosis. Necroptosis, a caspase-independent programmed cell necrosis, occurs in advanced atherosclerotic plaques and has been implicated in VEC, VSMC and macrophage function. Although necroptosis may have considered as a defensive line against intracellular infection, it can induce a pro-inflammatory state, which will accelerate the disease process. Accordingly, necroptosis plays an important pathophysiologic role. In this review, we explore the role of necroptosis in VECs, VSMCs and macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques and their connection to atherosclerosis.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:847362.

Abstract
Some studies have reported that the activation of Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Moreover, receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3)-mediated necroptosis is also involved in the pathological process of various heart diseases. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of RIPK3-regulated CaMKII on necroptosis in heart failure (HF) and its underlying mechanism. Wild type (WT) and RIPK3-depleted (RIPK3–/–) mice were treated with transverse arch constriction (TAC). After 6 weeks, echocardiography, myocardial injury, CaMKII activity, necroptosis, RIPK3 expression, mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) phosphorylation, and mitochondrial ultrastructure were measured. The results showed that TAC aggravated cardiac dysfunction, CaMKII activation, and necroptosis in WT mice. However, depletion of RIPK3 alleviated cardiac insufficiency, CaMKII activation, and necroptosis in TAC-treated mice. To verify the experimental results, WT mice were transfected with AAV-vector and AAV-RIPK3 shRNA, followed by TAC operation. The findings were consistent with the expected results. Collectively, our current data indicated that the activation of CaMKII, MLKL and necroptosis in HF mice were increased in a RIPK3-dependent manner, providing valuable insights into the pathogenesis and treatment strategy of HF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prothymosin α (ProT), a polypeptide, attenuates inflammation and inhibits transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling in pulmonary tissues. We investigated the potential role of ProT in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MyoIR) injury using ProT cDNA transfer. METHODS Serum ProT levels were investigated in cardiogenic shock patients with MyoIR (n = 9). In addition, the myocardium of Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 52) was subjected to 25 min of ischemia followed by an injection of adenoviral vectors (2 × 109 plaque-forming units) carrying ProT or the luciferase gene, 10 min before reperfusion. Echocardiography, serum ProT, and biochemical analyses of organ functions were performed before euthanasia, 14 days after treatment. Immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting of the myocardial tissue were also performed. RESULTS Serum ProT levels were transiently elevated in the rats and patients early after MyoIR, which was reduced to baseline levels in control rats and patients. ProT gene transfer persistently mobilized ProT serum levels, reduced dilatation, attenuated fibrotic changes, and preserved the left ventricular ejection fraction after MyoIR. Tissue thrombospondin-1 level was abundant, and matrix metalloproteinase-2, collagen I, and collagen IV levels were decreased in the treatment group. While TGF-β protein level remained stable, ProT transduction mobilized Smad7, which counteracted TGF-β. ProT reduced tissue microRNA-223 expression, inhibited the associated interleukin-1β, and preserved RAS p21 protein activator 1 protein abundance. CONCLUSIONS An increase in transient serum ProT levels could be a protective response in the acute stage of MyoIR. ProT gene transfer further preserved ventricular morphology and function through anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in the subacute stage after injury.

Ethyl pyruvate attenuates isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction in rats: Insight to TNF-α-mediated apoptotic and necroptotic signaling interplay. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 103:108495.

Abstract
The current study investigated the prophylactic effect of ethyl pyruvate (EP) in Isoproterenol (ISO) - induced myocardial infarction (MI). Ethyl pyruvate (EP) was given at a dose of 100 mg/kg i.p for 7 days, while isoproterenol (ISO) was administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg s.c. on the 6th and 7th days to induce MI. All parameters were assessed 24 and 48 h following treatment. Interestingly, EP pre-treatment significantly improved ISO-induced hemodynamic alterations and remarkably ameliorated serum levels of cardiac injury markers, Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) and Cardiac Creatine Kinase (CK-MB). Also, EP notably suppressed levels of oxidative stress markers, total antioxidants (TAO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) as compared to ISO-treated group. Cardioprotective effects of EP were confirmed by histopathological examination. Moreover, EP remarkably attenuated ISO-induced elevation in Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) and Nuclear factor kappa-B p65 (NF-κB) expression, along with Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and Inducible nitric oxide synthase (i-NOS) levels. Also, EP significantly diminished expression of apoptotic markers; caspase 8, cleaved caspase 3 and apoptotic regulator; cellular FLICE-like inhibitory protein (cFLIP). Finally, EP notably mitigated necroptotic mediators, phosphorylated receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 and 3 (p-RIPK1 and p-RIPK3), phosphorylated mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (p-MLKL) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) expression as compared to the ISO-treated group. Our study was the first to investigate the effect of EP on the necroptotic signaling. Taken together, EP conferred its cardioprotective effect against ISO-induced MI partially through mitigation of TNF-α and its downstream inflammatory, apoptotic and necroptotic signaling pathways.

Abstract
Diabetic mellitus (DM) is a common degenerative chronic metabolic disease often accompanied by severe cardiovascular complications (DCCs) as major causes of death in diabetic patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) as the most common DCC. The metabolic disturbance in DCM generates the conditions/substrates and inducers/triggers and activates the signaling molecules and death executioners leading to cardiomyocyte death which accelerates the development of DCM and the degeneration of DCM to heart failure. Various forms of programmed active cell death including apoptosis, pyroptosis, autophagic cell death, autosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis and entosis have been identified and characterized in many types of cardiac disease. Evidence has also been obtained for the presence of multiple forms of cell death in DCM. Most importantly, published animal experiments have demonstrated that suppression of cardiomyocyte death of any forms yields tremendous protective effects on DCM. Herein, we provide the most updated data on the subject of cell death in DCM, critical analysis of published results focusing on the pathophysiological roles of cell death, and pertinent perspectives of future studies.

Abstract
Intracranial hypertension (IH) remains a common symptom of neurological diseases, and requires stepwise treatments to release intracranial pressure (ICP). In the present study, we built a rat model of epidural extreme intracranial hypertension (EEIH) and verified the effectiveness of a surgery method called controlled decompression on attenuating brain injury induced by EEIH. For the model part, we determined the level of EEIH of rats via recording ICP and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and the variation tendency of survival rates, mean blood artery pressure and mean velocity (Vm) of left middle cerebral artery (LMCA) as ICP ascending. SD rats were assigned into 4 groups: Sham group, Controlled decompression group (Con group), Rapid decompression group (Rap group) and Rapid decompression + Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) group (Rap+Nec-1 group). The results suggested that controlled decompression lowered cerebral water content, improved neurological function, and attenuated EEIH-induced inflammation response and ROS generation to a greater extent than rapid decompression. Meanwhile, controlled decompression functioned to preserve more Nissl bodies, indicating alleviated neuron injury after EEIH. Additionally, the permeability of blood brain barrier (BBB) was also safeguarded in the Con group. Western blotting (WB) and Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (rt-PCR) assays consistently determined lower protein and mRNA levels of necroptosis-related molecules receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) (WB only) in the Con and Rap+Nec-1 group. Double immunofluorescent staining found weaker fluorescence intensity of RIPK3 in the compressed cortex of the Con and Rap+Nec-1 group.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a potentially severe, debilitating condition affecting patients with cancer and patients with osteoporosis who have been treated with powerful antiresorptives (pARs) or angiogenesis inhibitors (AgIs). Oral risk factors associated with the development of MRONJ include tooth extraction and inflammatory dental disease (e.g., periodontitis, periapical infection). In bone tissues, osteocytes play a bidirectional role in which they not only act as the "receiver" of systemic signals from blood vessels, such as hormones and drugs, or local signals from the mineralized matrix as it is deformed, but they also play a critical role as "transmitter" of signals to the cells that execute bone modeling and remodeling (osteoclasts, osteoblasts and lining cells). When the survival capacity of osteocytes is overwhelmed, they can die. Osteocyte death has been associated with several pathological conditions. Whereas the causes and mechanisms of osteocyte death have been studied in conditions like osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), few studies of the causes and mechanisms of osteocyte death have been done in MRONJ. The three forms of cell death that affect most of the different cells in the body (apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis) have been recognized in osteocytes. Notably, necroptosis, a form of regulated cell death with "a necrotic cell death phenotype," has also been identified as a form of cell death in osteocytes under certain pathologic conditions. Improving the understanding of osteocyte death in MRONJ may be critical for preventing disease and developing treatment approaches. In this review, we intend to provide insight into the biology of osteocytes, cell death, in general, and osteocyte death, in particular, and discuss hypothetical mechanisms involved in osteocyte death associated with MRONJ.

RIPK3 activation induces TRIM28 derepression in cancer cells and enhances the anti-tumor microenvironment. Mol Cancer 2021; 20:107. [PMID: 34419074 PMCID: PMC8379748 DOI: 10.1186/s12943-021-01399-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Necroptosis is emerging as a new target for cancer immunotherapy as it is now recognized as a form of cell death that increases tumor immunogenicity, which would be especially helpful in treating immune-desert tumors. De novo synthesis of inflammatory proteins during necroptosis appears especially important in facilitating increased anti-tumor immune responses. While late-stage transcription mediated by NF-κB during cell death is believed to play a role in this process, it is otherwise unclear what cell signaling events initiate this transactivation of inflammatory genes. Methods We employed tandem-affinity purification linked to mass spectrometry (TAP-MS), in combination with the analysis of RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) datasets to identify the Tripartite Motif Protein 28 (TRIM28) as a candidate co-repressor. Comprehensive biochemical and molecular biology techniques were used to characterize the role of TRIM28 in RIPK3 activation-induced transcriptional and immunomodulatory events. The cell composition estimation module was used to evaluate the correlation between RIPK3/TRIM28 levels and CD8+ T cells or dendritic cells (DC) in all TCGA tumors. Results We identified TRIM28 as a co-repressor that regulates transcriptional activity during necroptosis. Activated RIPK3 phosphorylates TRIM28 on serine 473, inhibiting its chromatin binding activity, thereby contributing to the transactivation of NF-κB and other transcription factors, such as SOX9. This leads to elevated cytokine expression, which then potentiates immunoregulatory processes, such as DC maturation. The expression of RIPK3 has a significant positive association with the tumor-infiltrating immune cells populations in various tumor type, thereby activating anti-cancer responses. Conclusion Our data suggest that RIPK3 activation-dependent derepression of TRIM28 in cancer cells leads to increased immunostimulatory cytokine production in the tumor microenvironment, which then contributes to robust cytotoxic anti-tumor immunity.

Abstract
Necroptosis, a novel programmed cell death, plays a critical role in the development of fibrosis, yet its role in atrial fibrillation (AF) remains elusive. Mounting evidence demonstrates that aerobic exercise improves AF-related symptoms and quality of life. Therefore, we explored the role of necroptosis in AF pathogenesis and exercise-conferred cardioprotection. A mouse AF model was established either by calcium chloride and acetylcholine (CaCl2 -Ach) administration for 3 weeks or high-fat diet (HFD) feeding for 12 weeks, whereas swim training was conducted 60 min/day, for 3-week duration. AF susceptibility, heart morphology and function and atrial fibrosis were assessed by electrophysiological examinations, echocardiography and Masson's trichrome staining, respectively. Both CaCl2 -Ach administration and HFD feeding significantly enhanced AF susceptibility (including frequency and duration of episodes), left atrial enlargement and fibrosis. Moreover, protein levels of necroptotic signaling (receptor-interacting protein kinase 1, receptor-interacting protein kinase 3, mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II or their phosphorylated forms) were markedly elevated in the atria of AF mice. However, inhibiting necroptosis with necrostatin-1 partly attenuated CaCl2 -Ach (or HFD)-induced fibrosis and AF susceptibility, implicating necroptosis as contributing to AF pathogenesis. Finally, we found 3-week swim training inhibited necroptotic signaling, consequently decreasing CaCl2 -Ach-induced AF susceptibility and atrial structural remodeling. Our findings identify necroptosis as a novel mechanism in AF pathogenesis and highlight that aerobic exercise may confer benefits on AF via inhibiting cardiac necroptosis.

Abstract
Background Mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), one of the main downstream components of the necroptosis or programmed necrosis has recently been demonstrated in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. However, its precise role in the atherosclerosis pathogenesis still requires more elucidation. Our study was set to delineate both the changes in peripheral MLKL gene expression and its influence on disease severity in atherosclerotic patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods The study involved 50 patients (20 non-diabetics and 30 diabetics) undergoing coronary artery bypass graft and 20 apparently healthy controls. Taqman RT-PCR was used to quantify MLKL mRNA expression levels, while ELISA was employed to estimate serum insulin and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels. Results Compared with the control group, MLKL gene was up regulated significantly in cardiovascular diseases (CVD; p ≤ 0.001). Higher MLKL expression was demonstrated in diabetic CVD group than non-diabetic group (p < 0.05). Correlation studies reported positive associations between MLKL and markers of dyslipidemia, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Multiple regression analysis revealed that FBG levels, hsCRP levels, and total white blood cells count were significant predictors for MLKL levels. Receiver operating characteristic curve showed a significant diagnostic value of MLKL for CVD. Moreover, regression analysis demonstrated that MLKL and hsCRP were independent predicting factors for the severity of CVD. Conclusion MLKL is linked to hallmarks of atherosclerosis and could explain increased cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients. Thus, it can be a potential drug target for treatment of atherosclerotic patients.

Abstract
Regulated necrosis, also termed necroptosis, is another programmed cell death depending on a unique molecular pathway that does not overlap with apoptosis. Tumor necrosis factor and Toll-like receptor family members, interferon, and other mediators are the factors that mainly cause necroptosis. Activating necroptosis by ligands of death receptors requires the kinase activity of receptor-interacting proteins 1 and 3, and a mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein, which is a critical downstream mediator of necroptosis. Increasing evidence has revealed that necroptosis does not only involve physiological regulation but also the occurrence, development, and prognosis of certain diseases, such as septicemia, neurodegenerative diseases, and ischemic-reperfusion injury. Many excellent documented systematic discussions of necroptosis and its role in various skin diseases. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanism of necroptosis, as well as the current knowledge on the contribution of necroptosis, in infection-related, immune-mediated, autoimmune skin diseases, and malignant skin tumors.

RIPK3-Mediated Necroptosis in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Requires CaMKII Activation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:6617816.

Abstract
Activation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) has been proved to play a vital role in cardiovascular diseases. Receptor-interaction protein kinase 3- (RIPK3-) mediated necroptosis has crucially participated in cardiac dysfunction. The study is aimed at investigating the effect as well as the mechanism of CaMKII activation and necroptosis on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Wild-type (WT) and the RIPK3 gene knockout (RIPK3−/−) mice were intraperitoneally injected with 60 mg/kg/d streptozotocin (STZ) for 5 consecutive days. After 12 w of feeding, 100 μL recombinant adenovirus solution carrying inhibitor 1 of protein phosphatase 1 (I1PP1) gene was injected into the caudal vein of mice. Echocardiography, myocardial injury, CaMKII activity, necroptosis, RIPK1 expression, mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) phosphorylation, and mitochondrial ultrastructure were measured. The results showed that cardiac dysfunction, CaMKII activation, and necroptosis were aggravated in streptozotocin- (STZ-) stimulated mice, as well as in (Lepr) KO/KO (db/db) mice. RIPK3 deficiency alleviated cardiac dysfunction, CaMKII activation, and necroptosis in DCM. Furthermore, I1PP1 overexpression reversed cardiac dysfunction, myocardial injury and necroptosis augment, and CaMKII activity enhancement in WT mice with DCM but not in RIPK3−/− mice with DCM. The present study demonstrated that CaMKII activation and necroptosis augment in DCM via a RIPK3-dependent manner, which may provide therapeutic strategies for DCM.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are considered the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Of these, myocardial infarction (MI) is the most common cause of CVD mortality. MI is a life-threatening condition which occurs when coronary perfusion is interrupted leading to cardiomyocyte death. Subsequent to MI, consequences include adverse cardiac remodeling and cardiac dysfunction mainly contribute to the development of heart failure (HF). It has been shown that loss of functional cardiomyocytes in MI-induced HF are associated with several cell death pathways, in particular necroptosis. Although the entire mechanism underlying necroptosis in MI progression is still not widely recognized, some recent studies have reported beneficial effects of necroptosis inhibitors on cell viability and cardiac function in chronic MI models. Therefore, extensive investigation into the necroptosis signaling pathway is indicated for further study. This article comprehensively reviews the context of the underlying mechanisms of necroptosis in chronic MI-induced HF in in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies. These findings could inform ways of developing novel therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical outcomes in MI patients from this point forward.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a chronic multifactorial disease, is closely related to the development of cardiovascular diseases and is one of the predominant causes of death worldwide. Normal vascular endothelial cells play an important role in maintaining vascular homeostasis and inhibiting atherosclerosis by regulating vascular tension, preventing thrombosis and regulating inflammation. Currently, accumulating evidence has revealed that endothelial cell apoptosis is the first step of atherosclerosis. Excess apoptosis of endothelial cells induced by risk factors for atherosclerosis is a preliminary event in atherosclerosis development and might be a target for preventing and treating atherosclerosis. Interestingly, accumulating evidence shows that natural medicines have great potential to treat atherosclerosis by inhibiting endothelial cell apoptosis. Therefore, this paper reviewed current studies on the inhibitory effect of natural medicines on endothelial cell apoptosis and summarized the risk factors that may induce endothelial cell apoptosis, including oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), reactive oxygen species (ROS), angiotensin II (Ang II), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), homocysteine (Hcy) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We expect this review to highlight the importance of natural medicines, including extracts and monomers, in the treatment of atherosclerosis by inhibiting endothelial cell apoptosis and provide a foundation for the development of potential antiatherosclerotic drugs from natural medicines.

Abstract
Vinblastine (VBL) has been considered as a first-line anti-tumor drug for many years. However, vinblastine-caused myocardial damage has been continually reported. The underlying molecular mechanism of the myocardial damage remains unknown. Here, we show that vinblastine induces myocardial damage and necroptosis is involved in the vinblastine-induced myocardial damage both in vitro and in vivo. The results of WST-8 and flow cytometry analysis show that vinblastine causes damage to H9c2 cells, and the results of animal experiments show that vinblastine causes myocardial cell damage. The necrosome components, receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3), are significantly increased in vinblastine-treated H9c2 cells, primary neonatal rat ventricular myocytes and rat heart tissues. And the downstream substrate of RIP3, mixed lineage kinase domain like protein (MLKL) was also increased. Pre-treatment with necroptosis inhibitors partially inhibits the necrosome components and MLKL levels and alleviates vinblastine-induced myocardial injury both in vitro and in vivo. This study indicates that necroptosis participated in vinblastine-evoked myocardial cell death partially, which would be a potential target for relieving the chemotherapy-related myocardial damage.

Abstract
Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a potential therapeutic target for cardiovascular, metabolic, and other aging-related diseases. In this study, we investigated the role of SIRT3 in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Mice were injected with streptozotocin (STZ, 60 mg/kg, ip) to induce diabetes mellitus. Our proteomics analysis revealed that SIRT3 expression in the myocardium of diabetic mice was lower than that of control mice, as subsequently confirmed by real-time PCR and Western blotting. To explore the role of SIRT3 in DCM, SIRT3-knockout mice and 129S1/SvImJ wild-type mice were injected with STZ. We found that diabetic mice with SIRT3 deficiency exhibited aggravated cardiac dysfunction, increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level in the serum, decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level in the myocardium, exacerbated myocardial injury, and promoted myocardial reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were transfected with SIRT3 siRNA, then exposed to high glucose (HG, 25.5 mM). We found that downregulation of SIRT3 further increased LDH release, decreased ATP level, suppressed the mitochondrial membrane potential, and elevated oxidative stress in HG-treated cardiomyocytes. SIRT3 deficiency further raised expression of necroptosis-related proteins including receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, and cleaved caspase 3, and upregulated the expression of inflammation-related proteins including NLR family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), caspase 1 p20, and interleukin-1β both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, SIRT3 deficiency aggravated hyperglycemia-induced mitochondrial damage, increased ROS accumulation, promoted necroptosis, possibly activated the NLRP3 inflammasome, and ultimately exacerbated DCM in the mice. These results suggest that SIRT3 can be a molecular intervention target for the prevention and treatment of DCM.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a caspases-independent programmed cell death displaying intermediate features between necrosis and apoptosis. Albeit some physiological roles during embryonic development such tissue homeostasis and innate immune response are documented, necroptosis is mainly considered a pro-inflammatory cell death. Key actors of necroptosis are the receptor-interacting-protein-kinases, RIPK1 and RIPK3, and their target, the mixed-lineage-kinase-domain-like protein, MLKL. The intestinal epithelium has one of the highest rates of cellular turnover in a process that is tightly regulated. Altered necroptosis at the intestinal epithelium leads to uncontrolled microbial translocation and deleterious inflammation. Indeed, necroptosis plays a role in many disease conditions and inhibiting necroptosis is currently considered a promising therapeutic strategy. In this review, we focus on the molecular mechanisms of necroptosis as well as its involvement in human diseases. We also discuss the present developing therapies that target necroptosis machinery.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is estimated to cause 200,000 deaths each year. Currently, the only treatment for AAA is surgical repair; however, this is only indicated for large asymptomatic, symptomatic or ruptured aneurysms, is not always durable, and is associated with a risk of serious perioperative complications. As a result, patients with small asymptomatic aneurysms or who are otherwise unfit for surgery are treated conservatively, but up to 70% of small aneurysms continue to grow, increasing the risk of rupture. There is thus an urgent need to develop drug therapies effective at slowing AAA growth. This review describes the commonly used mouse models for AAA. Recent research in these models highlights key roles for pathways involved in inflammation and cell turnover in AAA pathogenesis. There is also evidence for long non-coding RNAs and thrombosis in aneurysm pathology. Further well-designed research in clinically relevant models is expected to be translated into effective AAA drugs.

Abstract
Objective Receptor interacting proteins kinase 1 and 3 (RIPK1 and RIPK3) have been shown to play essential roles in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) by mediating necroptosis and inflammation. We previously discovered a small molecular inhibitor GSK2593074A (GSK’074) that binds to both RIPK1 and RIPK3 with high affinity and prevents AAA formation in mice. In this study, we evaluated whether GSK’074 can attenuate progression of existing AAA in the calcium phosphate model. Methods C57BL6/J mice were subjected to the calcium phosphate model of aortic aneurysm generation. Mice were treated with either GSK’074 (4.65 mg/kg/day) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) controls starting 7 days after aneurysm induction. Aneurysm growth was monitored via ultrasound imaging every 7 days until harvest on day 28. Harvested aortas were examined via immunohistochemistry. The impact of GSK’074 on vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophages were evaluated via flow cytometry and transwell migration assay. Results At the onset of treatment, mice in both the control (DMSO) and GSK’074 groups showed similar degree of aneurysmal expansion. The weekly ultrasound imaging showed a steady aneurysm growth in DMSO-treated mice. The aneurysm growth was attenuated by GSK’074 treatment. At humane killing, GSK’074-treated mice had significantly reduced progression in aortic diameter from baseline as compared with the DMSO-treated mice (83.2% ± 13.1% [standard error of the mean] vs 157.2% ± 32.0% [standard error of the mean]; P < .01). In addition, the GSK’074-treated group demonstrated reduced macrophages (F4/80, CD206, MHCII), less gelatinase activity, a higher level of smooth muscle cell-specific myosin heavy chain, and better organized elastin fibers within the aortic walls compared with DMSO controls. In vitro, GSK’074 inhibited necroptosis in mouse aortic smooth muscle cells; whereas, it was able to prevent macrophage migration without affecting Il1b and Tnf expression. Conclusions GSK’074 is able to attenuate aneurysm progression in the calcium phosphate model. The ability to inhibit both vascular smooth muscle cell necroptosis and macrophage migration makes GSK’074 an attractive drug candidate for pharmaceutical treatment of aortic aneurysms. Previous clinical trials evaluating pharmaceutical treatments in blocking aneurysm progression have failed. However, most agents used in those trials focused on inhibiting only one mechanism that contributes to aneurysm pathogenesis. In this study, we found GSK’074 is able to attenuate aneurysm progression in the calcium phosphate model by inhibiting both vascular smooth muscle cell necroptosis and macrophage migration, which are both key processes in the pathogenesis of aneurysm progression. The ability of GSK’0474 to inhibit multiple key pathologic mechanisms makes it an attractive therapeutic candidate for aneurysm progression.

Leukotriene B 4 receptor 1 exacerbates inflammation following myocardial infarction. FASEB J 2020; 34:8749-8763.

Abstract
Leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (BLT1), a high-affinity G-protein-coupled receptor for leukotriene B4 (LTB4 ), is expressed on various inflammatory cells and plays critical roles in several inflammatory diseases. In myocardial infarction (MI), various inflammatory cells are known to be recruited to the infarcted area, but the function of BLT1 in MI is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of BLT1 in MI and the therapeutic effect of a BLT1 antagonist, ONO-4057, on MI. Mice with infarcted hearts showed increased BLT1 expression and LTB4 levels. BLT1-knockout mice with infarcted hearts exhibited attenuated leukocyte infiltration, proinflammatory cytokine production, and cell death, which led to reduced mortality and improved cardiac function after MI. Bone-marrow transplantation studies showed that BLT1 expressed on bone marrow-derived cells was responsible for the exacerbation of inflammation in infarcted hearts. Furthermore, ONO-4057 administration attenuated the inflammatory responses in hearts surgically treated for MI, which resulted in reduced mortality and improved cardiac function after MI. Our study demonstrated that BLT1 contributes to excessive inflammation after MI and could represent a new therapeutic target for MI.

Abstract
Aortic aneurysm is a permanent focal dilation of the aorta. It is usually an asymptomatic disease but can lead to sudden death due to aortic rupture. Aortic aneurysm-related mortalities are estimated at ∼200,000 deaths per year worldwide. Because no pharmacological treatment has been found to be effective so far, surgical repair remains the only treatment for aortic aneurysm. Aortic aneurysm results from changes in the aortic wall structure due to loss of smooth muscle cells and degradation of the extracellular matrix and can form in different regions of the aorta. Research over the past decade has identified novel contributors to aneurysm formation and progression. The present review provides an overview of cellular and noncellular factors as well as enzymes that process extracellular matrix and regulate cellular functions (e.g., matrix metalloproteinases, granzymes, and cathepsins) in the context of aneurysm pathogenesis. An update of clinical trials focusing on therapeutic strategies to slow abdominal aortic aneurysm growth and efforts underway to develop effective pharmacological treatments is also provided.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by abnormalities of myocardial structure and function. Researches on the models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as the application of genetic engineering technology help in understanding the molecular mechanism of DCM. DCM has multiple hallmarks, including hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, increased free radical production, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction, and cell death. Essentially, cell death is considered to be the terminal pathway of cardiomyocytes during DCM. Morphologically, cell death can be classified into four different forms: apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, and entosis. Apoptosis, as type I cell death, is the fastest form of cell death and mainly occurs depending on the caspase proteolytic cascade. Autophagy, as type II cell death, is a degradation process to remove damaged proteins, dysfunctional organelles and commences by the formation of autophagosome. Necrosis is type III cell death, which contains a great diversity of cell death processes, such as necroptosis and pyroptosis. Entosis is type IV cell death, displaying “cell-in-cell” cytological features and requires the engulfing cells to execute. There are also some other types of cell death such as ferroptosis, parthanatos, netotic cell death, lysosomal dependent cell death, alkaliptosis or oxeiptosis, which are possibly involved in DCM. Drugs or compounds targeting the signals involved in cell death have been used in clinics or experiments to treat DCM. This review briefly summarizes the mechanisms and implications of cell death in DCM, which is beneficial to improve the understanding of cell death in DCM and may propose novel and ideal strategies in future.

Abstract
Over the past 15 years, elegant studies have demonstrated that in certain conditions, programed cell death resembles necrosis and depends on a unique molecular pathway with no overlap with apoptosis. This form of regulated necrosis is represented by necroptosis, in which the receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 and its substrate mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein play a crucial role. With the development of knockout mouse models and molecular inhibitors unique to necroptotic proteins, this cell death has been found to occur in virtually all tissues and diseases evaluated. There are different immunologic consequences depending on whether cells die through apoptosis or necroptosis. Therefore, distinguishing between these two forms of cell death may be crucial during pathologic evaluations. In this review, we provide an understanding of necroptotic cell-death and highlight diseases in which necroptosis has been found to play a role. We also discuss the inhibitors of necroptosis and the ways these inhibitors have been used in preclinical models of diseases. These two discussions offer an understanding of the role of necroptosis in diseases and will foster efforts to pharmacologically target this unique yet pervasive form of programed cell death in the clinic.

Abstract
Because the induction of strong host antitumor responses plays a very important role in antitumor therapy, identifying effective approaches to elicit immunogenic cell death could have important implications. RIP3-dependent necroptotic cancer cells have been reported to release damage-associated molecular patterns and enhance antitumor immunity. In this study, hyaluronic acid-conjugated cationic liposomes (DOTAP/DOPE/PEG-DSPE/CHOL) (HA-P-LP) were prepared as a vector for mRIP3-pDNA overexpression in tumours. Compared with standard cationic liposomes, this vector markedly increased cellular gene internalisation in vitro, enhanced the tumour-targeting effect in vivo and exhibited a significant antitumor effect in combination with adjuvant chloroquine. Considering the dramatic increase in RIP3 under the pathological condition of pancreatitis and the correlation between pancreatitis and necroptosis, non-HA-conjugated liposomes with the same formulation loaded with shRNA mRIP3-pDNA effectively controlled the disease by decreasing the serum amylase concentration and inflammatory cell infiltration. The versatile cationic liposomes loaded with plasmids with opposing functions in this study provide a new concept and method for both tumour therapy and pancreatitis therapy.

Abstract
Cell death has a fundamental impact on the evolution of degenerative disorders, autoimmune processes, inflammatory diseases, tumor formation and immune surveillance. Over the past couple of decades extensive studies have uncovered novel cell death pathways, which are independent of apoptosis. Among these is necroptosis, a tightly regulated, inflammatory form of cell death. Necroptosis contribute to the pathogenesis of many diseases and in this review, we will focus exclusively on necroptosis in humans. Necroptosis is considered a backup mechanism of apoptosis, but the in vivo appearance of necroptosis indicates that both caspase-mediated and caspase-independent mechanisms control necroptosis. Necroptosis is regulated on multiple levels, from the transcription, to the stability and posttranslational modifications of the necrosome components, to the availability of molecular interaction partners and the localization of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). Accordingly, we classified the role of more than seventy molecules in necroptotic signaling based on consistent in vitro or in vivo evidence to understand the molecular background of necroptosis and to find opportunities where regulating the intensity and the modality of cell death could be exploited in clinical interventions. Necroptosis specific inhibitors are under development, but >20 drugs, already used in the treatment of various diseases, have the potential to regulate necroptosis. By listing necroptosis-modulated human diseases and cataloging the currently available drug-repertoire to modify necroptosis intensity, we hope to kick-start approaches with immediate translational potential. We also indicate where necroptosis regulating capacity should be considered in the current applications of these drugs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the effect of adiponectin (Apn) on necrotic apoptosis (Nec) in vitro and in vivo to clarify the possible role of Apn in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). MATERIAL AND METHODS Rat glomerular endothelial (RGE) cells were treated with high glucose (HG, 30 mmol/l) for 24 h and the effects of Apn on cell viability, RIP1 and RIP3 expression and p-p38MAPK activation were assayed by CCK-8, immunofluorescence and western blot. Then a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DN rat model was established. The body weight, left kidney weight, left kidney weight/body weight (KW/BW), creatinine clearance rate (Ccr), 24 h urine protein and blood glucose were recorded. The expression of RIP1, RIP3 and p-p38MAPK in renal tissues was examined by immunohistochemistry and western blot. RESULTS Treatment of RGE cells with HG induced significant cytotoxicity and increased expression levels of RIP1, RIP3 and p-p38MAPK, which were abrogated by Apn in a concentration-dependent manner. In vivo, compared with the control group, the Ccr, 24 h urine protein and the blood glucose level of the rats in the model group were significantly increased, effects which were abrogated by Apn intervention. Moreover, the expression levels of RIP1, PIP3 and p-p38MAPK were also significantly increased in the model group, effects which were canceled by Apn intervention. CONCLUSIONS Apn can alleviate the inflammatory response and damage of DN by inhibiting Nec via p-p38MAPK signaling.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a genetically regulated form of necrotic cell death that has emerged as an important pathway in human disease. The necroptosis pathway is induced by a variety of signals, including death receptor ligands, and regulated by receptor-interacting protein kinases 1 and 3 (RIPK1 and RIPK3) and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), which form a regulatory necrosome complex. RIPK3-mediated phosphorylation of MLKL executes necroptosis. Recent studies, using animal models of tissue injury, have revealed that RIPK3 and MLKL are key effectors of injury propagation. This Review explores the functional roles of RIPK3 and MLKL as crucial pathogenic determinants and markers of disease progression and severity in experimental models of human disease, including acute and chronic pulmonary diseases; renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases; cancer; and critical illness.

Naringenin attenuates carotid restenosis in rats after balloon injury through its anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative effects via the RIP1-RIP3-MLKL signaling pathway. Eur J Pharmacol 2019; 855:167-174. [PMID: 31075238 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2019.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2018] [Revised: 05/02/2019] [Accepted: 05/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Vascular restenosis has been proved as the major drawback of percutaneous coronary interventions, which is characterized by neointimal hyperplasia. Naringenin is a kind of natural dihydroflavonoid with a variety of beneficial effects, including anti-oxidative, anti-microbial, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the effects of naringenin on vascular restenosis remain unclear. This study aimed at investigating the effect and the mechanisms of naringenin on balloon injury (BI)-induced neointimal hyperplasia in the common carotid artery (CCA). BI model of CCA was induced by a 2F Forgarty catheter balloon, and the pathological process of neointimal hyperplasia was noted at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days. Neointimal hyperplasia in CCA increased significantly, especially on day 14 after BI. Subsequently, naringenin (25, 50, 100 mg/kg/d) or volume-matched vehicle were administered to the rats by gavage daily for 14 days. Ultrasound detection and histopathological examination showed that naringenin dose-dependently inhibited BI-induced intimal hyperplasia, as evidenced by reducing imima-media thickness (IMT), neointimal area (NIA), neointimal area/media area (NIA/MA) and neointimal area/internal elastic area (NIA/IELA). Immunohistochemistry revealed that naringenin decreased the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and the cluster of differentiation 163 (CD163). ELISA indicated naringenin significantly reduced the overproduction of IL-1β and TNF-α. By detecting the activity of superoxide dismutase and the level of malondialdehyde and glutathione, we found that naringenin attenuated BI-induced oxidative stress. Additionally, RT-qPCR demonstrated that receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1), RIP3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) mRNA expression were further down-regulated by naringenin treatment. These results suggested that naringenin can suppress BI-induced vascular neointimal hyperplasia through anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative stress, which may be related to the regulation of RIP1-RIP3-MLKL signaling pathway.
